Key Theme: Listening Is the Key for Transformation
“In the end, only the result counts. In order to achieve those results, we need to connect with strategic partners and build a trusting relationships between suppliers and customers. We never let our customers down. To do that, we have to connect customer needs to our employees’ perceptions and build mutual trust. We have to listen carefully to employees, integrate their feedback, appreciate their work, and observe and manage their fears. This is the basis for the success of digital transformation.”
